BlackBerry lovers are still waiting for the Bold in US as rumoured for 2nd October and it’s just getting delayed more and more testing. The reason is that AT&T is testing if it works with their network and users do not have any problems with this device.

According to RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis, phone is still undergoing the certification process in which AT&T tests all new handsets to make sure they work well on its wireless network. AT&T is testing this device so strictly because customers soon started complaining of slow data downloads and dropped calls on some units with Apple’s iPhone 3G .

Interestingly the delay of BlackBerry Bold in U.S. launch has dipped RIM’s stock by which RIM’s U.S. shares fell $1.04, 1.7%, to close at $60.96 on Friday.
